Beauty Was the Case That They Gave Me

Beauty Was the Case That They Gave Me by Leidner, Mark. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780983520306.

Poetry. BEAUTY WAS THE CASE THAT THEY GAVE ME is Mark Leidners first full-length collection of poems. A collection of poems that might make you feel like a flower, like a black hole, like punishment meted out at night by a giant tractor, like you have to get on fire, then slowly walk around your old neighborhood, like the town was real, like she thinks swoon is a funnier word than mulligan, and he thinks swoon is a funny word too, but no way in hell is it funnier than mulligan, like hes searching for the Holy Grail and she has little Holy Grail-shaped pupils, like an effusion of steam, like whats cool changes, like hemisphere paint, like a blue flower, like the house you have lived above forever.
